Statistics Variables

Server statistics counters record the number of certain types of events. The LCI allows you to read these statistics to monitor the performance of your Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server.

Counter Statistics

The statistics counters can be accessed via the LCI by executing the following one line command:

ldapsearch -V 2 -h 127.0.0.1 -p 667 -D "cn=admin,o=radius" -w radius -s sub -T -b 
"radiusstatus=statistics,o=radius" stattype=typeofstatus

The following sections illustrate the variables displayed for different settings of the stattype parameter.

Rate Statistics

Rate statistics are derived from existing counter statistics by taking time into consideration. Rate values calculated for each of these counter statistics consist of the following:

• Current rate—The rate measured over the most recent rate interval.
• Average rate—The rate measured since the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server was started or since the last time statistics were reset to zero.
• Peak rate—The highest rate observed since the Steel-Belted Radius Carrier server was started or since the last time statistics were reset to zero.

Additionally, there is a (read-only) time value used in calculations:

• Rate statistics seconds-per interval—The duration (in seconds) of the interval over which the rate statistics are gathered.

To read rate statistics from the LCI, you must set stattype: rate. This results in output such as the following:

rate-statistics-seconds-per-interval: 1
